Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death,
so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we
too might walk in newness of life.

Romans 6:4

The Reward of the Godly Woman

aving read this book thus far, it should be evident that the Father has
established His government in such a way that everyone who submits to His
Hgovernment must go through a process of crucifixion and death. Yahshua set
the example when He submitted to His head and He went to the cross. Man is to
follow as he takes Christ as head and dies to his own soul life. Woman completes the
pattern by taking man as her head and dying to her soul’s desires and will.

All would be bleak, however, if we merely stopped at the point of crucifixion.
Yahshua did not stay on the cross forever. Despite all the crucifixes that adorn
church walls and are hung on chains around people’s necks, Yahshua is no longer on
the cross. As a seed is planted in the ground and dies, so too did He die and he was
buried. But praise Yahweh, He has risen again to new life and has sat down at the
right hand of the Father.

The government of God is ordered in such a way that those who will submit to it will
find the hard outer shell of their life experiencing extreme pressures. The flesh does
not want to die. The soul life of man does not want to submit to Yahweh’s rule and
authority.

As we choose the path of obedience we find that our soul life is crushed, but then a
marvelous thing happens. Even as the shell of a seed must be broken open for new
life to spring forth, so too in our lives, when we submit to the breaking of God, we
will find new life being released from us. This new life is not of man, it is of Christ.
As we submit to the process of crucifixion, and as we lay down our life, we gain the
release of the life of Christ within.

Many speak of having eternal life as if it is some gift that merely extends their mortal
life. Eternal life is much more than this. Eternal life is a person. Yahshua said, “I am
the way, the truth, and the life...” (John 14:6). When we are born again we receive the
life of Christ within our beings. “We have this treasure in earthen vessels” (II
Corinthians 4:7). But even as Gideon and his three hundred men had to break the
clay jars that covered their torches for the light to shine forth, so too must the
